    I have a 4th grader at Lighthouse Community Charter School. He has attended since Kindergarten and is well known by everyone.. The Lighthouse family has accepted us as their own and has helped out tremendously when the situation called for it. I am requesting that the charter be renewed for another 5 years so that Lighthouse can continue to assist the families in the community by providing the very best education.

    Please keep this school open because Lighthouse has given both my children numerous opportunities to succeed in life. My daughter in 6th grade continues to show academic and personal growth through the resources lighthouse has offered. My son, a Lighthouse Alumni who was offered resources and guidance to pursue further education at UC Berkeley.

    Please do not close this school. I have friends with children who go here and they depend on this school and everything it does. This school has shown and proved it can be a success marker for the community and OUSD board of education. Closing this school would mean closing one of the greatest examples the OUSD has in how successful they have become in teaching students. This school is a representation of each board member and how they are doing in regards to supporting our children. Closing this school would mean a failure for the kids and a failure for the board. Please do not fail us when we have such a great success story unfolding right before our eyes.

    Lighthouse deserves to be open because they have reached many educational goals required of them. They are in the middle category of the AB1505 making the eligible to be renewed for 5 more years. They excel in ELA and math reaching past goals set by the district. They are rooted in east oakland and are making a huge difference in the lives of young children. To close the school would take away from the district's success and student's opportunities. Please make the right choice for our kids, for our future.

    Lighthouse is middle in ab1505 and can be renewed for 5 more years. They outperform in math and ela. They are helping east oakland students and communities. They deserve the chance to keep proving that they can develop successful students who bring back their educational tools and learning to build oakland businesses and even teach new generations of students. Please keep Lighthouse open and doing positive work for our children.

    I have been around a long time and I have seen schools try and fail. I have seen lighthouse do what other schools have not. Lighthouse is doing exceptional at teaching especially in Math and English Learning. To close them now would set back hundreds of student learners. This would be the worst decision the board could make. If you base your decision on the needs of the district then know that this school is a shining example for the greatness of the OUSD. You can use them to show how wonderfully the Board of Education is doing to bring quality and effective education to East Oakland and all Oakland schools! Show the world Oakland is Great! Lighthouse is Great! Many blessings.

    I have a friend whose child goes to this school and another child who is waiting to go to this school. I have been advised of the statistics governing this school and I know for a fact that lighthouse is doing great work for the children and community. They are doing above the average performance in Math and English Learning which shows they have the capability to teach our students and create positive educational results. I also see they are based in the middle of the ab1505 and can renew for 5 more years. Please let them stay open to keep teaching and reaching the minds and hearts of the East Oakland students who attend this school. My friend's child has made more positive statements about learning and their education since attending and this is during the challenge of distance learning. To acquire that kind of feedback now means they are doing something exceptionally right! Please give them another 5 years to shine for the OUSD and be a success story for the OUSD Board of Ed. Ase'
